Maurice Dalton Turner, better known as Ty Turner, was born December 5, 1938, and while surrounded by family, passed peacefully on July 01, 2023, at 84 years old. To his family, he was known as "Poppy" and carried this title proudly. He was a man who saw life as an adventure and had a knack for story telling. Ty and his wife Barbara shared a love for animals which they passed on to the next generations of their large family. Over the years they had goats, emus, chickens, and everything in between. He loved his family, sharing his life and laughter with others, and he was an amazing provider and protector. He strongly believed anything could be fixed with a little duct tape or cured by neosporin or gargling with salt water. Although his family would have tried these cures and anything else to keep him by their side a little longer, he found himself ready to rejoin the wife he loved so dearly in heaven. We will miss him, but his stories and lessons will live with us forever.
He is survived by his sisters, Lovie Wheeler, and Patricia Webb, his daughter and son-in-law Toni and Brandan Lovell, son Tyrone Jay Turner, daughter, and son-in-law Tandi and Robert Kibler, son and daughter-in-law Tory and Shannon Turner, and daughter, and son-in-law Trenay and Greg Johnson. Grandchildren Brandi Salas, Samantha and husband Matt Murray, Shelbi and husband James Hughes, Brittany Sanchez and husband Louie, Rebekah Rodgers and husband Matt, Katie Turner, Hannah Pierce and husband Jacob, Colby Turner, Cody Turner, Chris Johnson, Stephen Johnson and wife Vanessa, Chloe Lowery, and Sydney Lowery. Great grandchildren Brooks Allman, Anna'rae Paz, Ryder Salas, Slayton Salas, Malcolm Murray, Olivia Hughes, Melodie Rodgers as well as his very loved furry four-legged children Bozella and KeKe.
He is preceded in death by his wife of 58 years, Barbara Turner, his parents, mother-in-law, beloved grandson Jeremy Cordova, and numerous friends.
